Brave Girls "High Heels"

With "Deepended" Brave Brothers brought his flagship girl group from their 2 and a half year slumber and clogged the K-Pop landscape even more [sarcasm]. With "High Heels". We see Korea's Dr. Luke continue to muscle his way into Sweetune's monopoly of 80s influenced tracks (hear Dal Shabet's crowing achievement "Someone Like U").

Taeyeon "Why"

In my last post about SNSD's Taeyeon, I mistakenly thought "Starlight" was the title track when in reality it was a pre-release. The actual title, "Why" premiered on Monday and it is, in my opinion Taeyeon's best solo single thus far.

Taeyeon & Dean "Starlight"

I have a love/hate relationship with Taeyeon. On one hand, I love the fact she has a voice and she sounds amazing on near everything she does. I hate her stans, who act as if her voice is the second coming of Jesus Christ, coupled with the fact we don't hear what she sounds like when she isn't belting those crazy high notes.

Romeo "Miro"

2015's male rookie group to beat Romeo has aged another two years (not really) and dropped their official comeback single, as I assume "Nightmare" was fan service.

It Isn't Summer Without A Sistar Comeback...

June 21st is the first official day of summer. June 21st was also the date Sistar decided to drop their latest wig snatcher summer themed single.

BTS "Run"

Initially, I was a casual BTS fan. There songs flucuated between meh ("No More Dream", "N.O", "Boy In Luv") and OMG THIS IS MY SHIT! ("Bulletproof Part II", "Danger", "Just One More Day"). 2015 converted me into a full fledged ARMY.

Dynamic Duo "Jam"

The throwback theme in Korean music this year is prevalent this year. Gaeko definitely gave us one of the best with "Cheers" and it has carried over with partner Gaeko in "Jam".

EXID "Hot Pink"

EXID have made their second comeback of the year in a hot way.

AOA "Heart Attack"

AOA's transformation from flops to mid-tier girl group last year also meant a decline in their musical output. "Miniskirt" was ok (still don't see why it was so popular), but I long for the days when FNC gave us that tacky angel/half angel concept, spawning "Elvis" and "Moya" (their first REAL hit btw).

Kara "Cupid"

I know I'm not the only one who secretly wishes that DSP somehow snatch back up Nicole and Jiyeon and give us more timeless tunes."Mamma Mia" was not love at first listen like the bulk of Kara's pre-Youngji catalogue, but it grew on me eventually...

Savannah Outen "Boys"

Savannah Outen is an extremely talented singer who's been making music for the better half of ten years. I stumbled upon her back in college and semi-stanned her for about a year until I started stanning British artists. While her catalog is sprinkled with a number of semi-precious pop gems ("Running For My Life", "If You Only Knew", she just hasn't made anything that would get the mainstream media talking (aside from her preteen bop "Goodbyes" back in '08).

Jay Park "Mommae"

At this point, I have no idea what Jay Park is doing with with his life musically. Last year, I was lamenting the fact that we didn't get his second LP until September. Now the guy is dropping a new song or music video every two weeks!!! Is he prepping a mixtape? EP? Album? Either way, I'm not complaining.

SHINee "View"

SHINee's back (in Korea). While we didn't have a comeback from the fivesome last year, they were still hard at work with other things, like Taemin's one man tribute to Michael Jackson and their Japanese promotions.

Britney Spears and Iggy Azalea "Pretty Girls"

Britney Spears is just too damn likeable stay mad at. We have long forgotten the will.i.stop.making.music mess that was 2013's "Britney Jean" and her decision to stay in Vegas instead of trekking around the world against her will to lip-sync to yesteryear. However, the "Hold It Against Me" singer is staging a comeback: a slow and steady comeback, but a comeback nevertheless, in the form of the Iggy Azalea co-headlining tune "Pretty Girls".

BoA "Kiss My Lips"

BoA is back!!! While the queen of Asian music hasn't given the public a proper Korean comeback since "Only One" back in 2012, she's still been consistent with her output in her three year "break" including her 8th Japanese LP "Who's Back" and her one off singles "Disturbance" and the strut worthy anthem"Action".

4Minute "Crazy"

Who knew that 4Minute had so much swag?

Calvin Harris Shafts HAIM With Low Budget For "Pray To God" Video

While Calvin's latest collaboration with Ellie Goulding is sorta kinda flopping here in America and someone at Columbia sniffing crack decided to release "Open Wide" to rhythmic radio, he's already started promoting one of the better cuts from "Motion" elsewhere.

1Punch Serve 90s Realness and Cultural Appropriation on "Turn Me Back"

Remember last January when Rain came back with "LA Song" and there was that big uproar about him appropriating and oversexualizing that one black woman by making her big like three times her size? A year later, we bring you something a bit more concrete ala newbie rap duo 1Punch.

Nine Muses Come Back With Some "Drama"...

The divine nine are now divine eight with the departure of Sera, Eunji and Lee Sem and the addition of Nasty Nasty's Sojin and trainee Keumjo. They also become the latest K-Pop group to ditch flawless production collective Sweetune in favour of the guy who produced some song on their Prima Donna LP (I couldn't find his name so...)

Hello Venus "Wiggle Wiggle" (Single, Dance Practice and Music Video)

After EXID's "Up and Down" became the big viral hit of 2014, I made it a vow to follow more lower tier girl groups since now my bias group Girls Day are in the upper echelons nowadays. And look who's having a comeback at the top of 2015...
